Seems our president is getting to busy to handle the economy. He also is having trouble answering questions…nothing new. Ever hear barry say yes or no? Or is it always the equivocating aka obamanating?
The other day he was asked if he was a socialist and he did not answer the question. He never said *no* or yes I guess. And it so occupied his mind he had to call the reporter later, saying at first he didn’t think the question was for real.
Now how can he possibly think that would fly? Biden said the same thing in his interview with Barbara West - but he said it right away and then answered the question.
Weren’t they asked it after Joe the Plumber came up? Haven’t they been asked it since then? Haven’t the blogs been abuzz with it for months? His botlets are everywhere, sure they have been commenting on the blogs and getting back to their master.
Anyway barry is continuing it wasn’t my fault…it was here when I got here…the economy is going to get much worse…I wish I didn’t have to handle it…where in the heck is this Hope! he stumped on? And who did he expect to implement the Change! he talked about?

The transcript provided by the Washington Times’ Senior Political Analyst, JOSEPH CURL.
The original question and answer not on the video audio.
Q: Are you a socialist as some people have suggested?
BARRY: You know, let’s take a look at the budget – the answer would be no.
There was not a yes or no - just no in reference to something else. Just like he dodged the question about Hillary Clinton for VP “Well, she would be on anybody’s short list” - but not his.
Q: Is there anything wrong with saying, ‘Yes’?”
Again, no answer - look at my actions…Thing is his actions rarely match up with his words.
Let’s just take a look at what we’ve done…If you look on the revenue side what we’re proposing, what we’re looking at is essentially to go back to the tax rates that existed during the 1990s when, as I recall, rich people were doing very well. In fact everybody was doing very well. . . . We said that we’d give a tax cut to 95 percent of working Americans. That’s exactly what we have done.
This tax has yet to be realized. And then came his call recorded above.
BARRY: Just one thing I was thinking about as I was getting on the copter. Cuz it was hard for me to believe that you were entirely serious about that socialist question.
I did think it might be useful to point out that it wasn’t under me that we started buying a whole bunch of shares of banks. It wasn’t on my watch. And it wasn’t on my watch that we passed a massive new entitlement -– the prescription drug plan — without a source of funding.
And so I think it’s important just to note when you start hearing folks throw these words around that we’ve actually been operating in a way that has been entirely consistent with free-market principles and that some of the same folks who are throwing the word ’socialist’ around can’t say the same.
Q: So whose watch are we talking about here, sir?
A non answer.
BARRY: Well, I just think it’s clear by the time we got here, there already had been an enormous infusion of taxpayer money into the financial system.
And the thing I constantly try to emphasize to people if that coming in, the market was doing fine, nobody would be happier than me to stay out of it.
I have more than enough to do without having to worry the financial system.
And the fact that we’ve had to take these extraordinary measures and intervene is not an indication of my ideological preference, but an indication of the degree to which lax regulation and extravagant risk taking has precipitated a crisis.
I think that covers it.
It’s not his fault and but he refused to say whose fault it is or whether he’s a socialist.
So why the call?
Him protesting a bit too much?
